I have a 90 Grand wagoneer, and a 76 J10 8ft bed and two 98 ZJ's 4.0 and 5.9 limited..., but ive always wanted a FC 150 or 170 doesnt matter, but with my J10 project only a year old. ill probably not get an FC due to not wanting to overload myself, as we have 4 Jeeps already. The more projects you have the less you actually finish and perfect the others... So too many projects would mean projects never fully completed.. didnt think the fc 170 was 9 foot bed though. There is a FC 150 from 62 near me for only $850, mostly all intact and good glass, but typical cabin rust all over... but for $850 fully complete is nice, the guy said it turns over too but just wont start.. so the engine isnt seized.. I really wanna get it LOL the price is great too, as most people want thousands for empty shells on jack stands

Hello sir! I too am working on a FC-170 restoration project. It has the original 226 Super Hurricane motor in it, and Im considering upgrading the motor/transmission/transfer case for driving at modern speeds. Those 65-70 mph speeds you mentioned, are you cruising comfortably or is it really working hard to maintain it. Also what transfer case system are you using?
